Tax and accounting

Brazil’s tax reform calls for clear assumptions and organized evidence.

For tax teams, accounting firms and tax consultancies working in Brazil, Castilho Torres IA combines the legal-tax and fiscal-accounting assistants with documents, research and management. Compliance, filing obligations and the impact of the move to CBS and IBS are analyzed with stated assumptions and material ready for review.

What slows the work down today

  • The transition means old and new rules coexist for years, client by client.
  • Credits and classifications depend on documentary evidence that is not always organized.
  • Opinions and technical notes must show their basis to withstand challenge.

How the platform helps

The transition, in broad strokes

  • 2026: a test year, with CBS at 0.9% and IBS at 0.1%, focused on filing obligations and system adjustments.
  • 2027: CBS comes fully into force and PIS and Cofins are abolished.
  • 2029 to 2032: ICMS and ISS are phased down while IBS rises proportionally.
  • 2033: IBS and CBS fully in force, with ICMS and ISS abolished.

Illustrative example

A working week, in practice

  1. A tax consultancy needs to review the position of ten clients for the transition.
  2. For each client, the fiscal-accounting assistant builds an assumption map: regime, sector, operations and contracts.
  3. Unconfirmed assumptions become document-collection tasks with the client.
  4. A weekly Intelligence Report brings new regulations, with source and date.
  5. The responsible professional reviews each client’s note and approves it.
